Top Doctors Express Skepticism Over Timing of Biden’s Aggressive Cancer Diagnosis: ‘Inconceivable’

A group of top medical experts is casting doubt on the timing of recent somber news involving Joe Biden's diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer. The cancer, it was reported on Sunday, has metastasized to his bones.

Without diminishing the seriousness of the situation or deflecting from the well-wishes sent to the former President and his family, a group of doctors spoke about the news on social media. And they don't seem to be buying into the narrative that this is recent news within Biden's inner circle.

Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economics at Yale, finds it "inconceivable" that this aggressive cancer was not being followed before Biden left office.

Forman indicated that the cancer being at this advanced stage would have been monitored "for some time before this diagnosis."

The concern becomes just how far back his doctors, friends, and family may have known about the cancer. Could it be possible that the cancer just sprang up aggressively out of nowhere for an elderly president who medical experts constantly monitor?

Trump, Other Leaders React to Biden's Cancer Diagnosis, Offer Prayers and Hope

Forman isn't the only top doctor seemingly unconvinced. Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel added similar thoughts.

"I mean, he must have had the best possible care here," Siegel said regarding the President's medical team. "I'm a little taken aback that it's this far advanced."

"It would be really surprising if they weren't doing a very close screening on this because everybody knows in the medical community that this is the one cancer in men you really look out for," he added.

If Biden's team was not screening for this, then they did him a tragic disservice. If they were, well, that's where things become a little more dicey. Did his aides and family have him running for re-election even with the knowledge that he was suffering from an aggressive form of cancer? One would hope not.

Physician Dr. Steven Quay's criticism of Biden's medical and political team and his allegation of a cover-up was much more straightforward.

"It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure, and the American people were uninformed," he said.

Quay went on to point out that for the prostate cancer to get to the metastatic phase without treatment, it would be "a five to seven year journey."

Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes…

Dr. Quay added that any disease diagnosis progressing this far in May 2025 without prior indication would be "malpractice."

Dr. Kevin O’Connor administered a physical for Biden in February of 2024, happily declaring that he was a “robust 81-year-old male” who was “fit for duty” as the leader of the free world.

No mention was made of prostate cancer, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, or digital rectal exams (DRE) related to prostate screening.

Was this malpractice, as Quay suggests, or another huge cover-up during the Biden administration?

President Donald Trump expressed sympathy upon learning of Biden's diagnosis with a post on Truth Social.

"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery," he wrote.
